Day 5 broken vocal cord: my whole body is still in pain. Sore fm enduring the shock waves of tingles/numbness/nerve pain rushes. It seems the hard part is in the past & my muscles need to recover for the week.

Won’t be able to use my cords till Friday 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll prob not use them till next month tho 🥵

They’re inflamed all the way around my cords down my spine. I did a primal scream during a panic at the language camp. And after the week, I was at the bar screaming & celebrating everyone’s hard work. So that’s part of it!

Also, it would take approximately 50-60 intense hrs to break them I think🤔

Haha, don’t be scared! I spent 10 yrs studying & it’s my 2nd intensive wk w speaking it outloud. Trying is GOOD! I’m even happy to be going thru this or grateful. It’ll just make it stronger.

Iñupiaq language is mostly used in the back by the Adam’s Apple! All those muscles back there instead. 🤯

above all else, I am angry at the colonizers’ language, the killer language. my vocal cord wouldn’t have been destroyed if my maternal lineage was allowed to speak and teach our language. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🫠🫥🫣😳😤😩☹️

Thank you!! I’m in total shock. But I am grateful for it, too. Elders and others around me allowed me to cry and panic whenever I needed to last week. That helped a lot for sure.

That's wild, I hope your cord heals along with the language healing that you're doing

the most shocking part (at this point, I can only laugh about it all) is that just by chance, I’ve waited 4 months for a consultation on my jaw. Yesterday, I learned there’s a (rly) slight possibility I’ll need jaw surgery which means my mouth will be literally wired shot for a little while! 🥴😦🫩😑🫥🫥🫥

damaging my vocal cord will probably be the biggest piece of humble pie that I’ll ever eat in my life! 😮‍💨

It really is the best place to holiday shop!

Not Alaska being cut off…

I’m in absolute shock and idk for how long. Please be patient with speaking English with me please. Haha. Hauk!

Anyway, I joked to the dental doctor ladies, “I guess… maybe after last week, I might be able to start saying I can speak the language now, too…. Maybe… idk… but I DID just break my vocal cord for Iñupiatun!” Like, holy shit! 😂

That, of course, they’re all mostly Elders now… aglaan, these days, our generation is working hard at bringing it back.

Last week, at Iñupiaqtun language intensive camp, I realized that my brain can now hear or understand both languages at once.

I’ll be okay. I’m in shock rn & need to focus on healing this broken cord. It’s painful. But, I’m OK. Actually, at a point where all I can do about it is laugh LOL 🤷🏻‍♀️

Made a joke with the doctors this am when they asked if there’s many Iñupiatun speakers anymore or if it’s declining, I explained…

Basically, fr the rest of the yr, my whole Being needs to slow WAY down. Pls be patient w me on socials & if you run into me IRL. Esp @ AFN.

I happened to also find out that I might need jaw surgery for TMD this morning. That will be a long process, too.

My brain is stuck in my language rn tho!

announced it on all socials & am still so new to Alaska Blue Sky (AKBS 🫨🤣) that I just realized it needs to be shared here -

I broke my vocal cord(s) from spending ~30 hours in Iñupiatun, my Native language. It’s a long, long story.

But, I can’t really think, talk, read, listen, etc very well.

I really want to start being a part of the local market community!

one hard thing about losing two grandparents 2 weeks apart is that it sounds like a fake excuse to get out of a college test. and it’s still hard for me to believe or trust, too. just doesn’t sound real to me.

word on the gravel road is that many Kiana residents are angry or upset about Blood & Myth. I understand where they’re coming from. Take everything with a grain of salt.

let it be known that when I’m vibing in the afterlife, no part of me will have the desire to open Facebook to hear fm you. I’m gonna need you to learn astral projection bby

That is absolutely wild 🥵😳🤯😤😩

That is so terrifying

Another good Audible is Alaska is the Center of the Universe. Episode 4 is about the little people. Each episode is about mysterious creature beliefs around the state
